Direct cooking is recommended for foods that can be cooked in less than ½ hour (e.g. steaks, fish fillets, chops, hamburger patties, etc.) In the direct
cooking method food is placed directly over the heat source.As juices from the food drip onto the deflector plate, it creates the“smoke” that gives the food
that irresistible barbecue flavour.
Indirect cooking is similar to roasting and is recommended for foods that need to be cooked slowly (e.g. roasts, whole chickens, vegetables, bread, etc.).
Indirect cooking is achieved either by turning down the heat source or by lighting the two side burners only and placing the food over the centre burner.All
indirect cooking requires the lid to be closed. With the lid closed the circulated heat ensures that the food is cooked evenly, much like a conventional oven.
The built-in thermometer in the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the barbeque and can be used to monitor and control the heat settings for
excellent results.
7. Caring For The Grill Plates
Do not overheat the grill plate and always add a little cooking oil to the surface before use.
Always allow the grill plate to cool before immersing it in water.
Vitreous enamel is perfectly safe in the dishwasher, but the surface is so easy to clean that a quick hand wash does the trick. The use of abrasive
detergents is not recommended, as this will permanently scratch or mark the surface.
If through misuse, burned grease or food residue collects on the surface, it can usually be removed with warm water and a mild detergent. In an extreme
case, it can be removed by a thorough cleaning with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of bleach, 1 tablespoon of liquid detergent and 1 cup of water. Apply to the
cooking surface with a sponge or plastic scrubbing pad.After cleaning, recondition the surface with a light wipe of oil before use.
8. General Maintenance
There are no predetermined maintenance intervals for this appliance.
It is dangerous to use an appliance with a cracked or perished seal and/or hose. Inspect both seals and hose regularly and replace if they are not in order
before using the appliance.
If the appliance was in use it will be hot.Allow to cool sufficiently before attempting any maintenance.
CADAC Patio BBQ's are fitted with spesific CADAC jets to regulate the correct amount of gas. Should the hole in the Jet become blocked this may result in
a small flame or no flame at all. Do not attempt to clean the Jet with a pin or other such device as this may damage the orifice, which could make the
appliance unsafe. Refer to Table 1 for jet sizes.
Ensure that the cylinder valve is closed, then disconnect the appliance from the gas cylinder.
Remove the grill plates. Remove the flame tamers to expose the burners. Remove the drip tray and the retaining screws of the affected burner.
Remove the affected burner by lifting it out of its location taking care not to damage the control valve whilst doing so.This will expose the Jet.
Unscrew the blocked Jet with a suitable spanner and replace it with a new Jet. Do not use pliers on the Jet as they can cause damage, making the Jet
unusable or impossible to remove.
Do not over tighten as this may damage the Jet. To re-assemble, reverse the above procedure.
The hose length should not be less than 0.8m or exceed 1.2m. Check the expiry date on the hose and replace when necessary. Fitting of a hose is
described in Section 15.3.10. Only an LPG hose that complies with SANS 1156-2 or BS 3212 may be used with this appliance.
It is important that the connection between the regulator outlet and the low pressure hose is tight and that it is secured with a metal hose clamp.Always
check the joint for gas leaks as described in section 3 above.

9. Troubleshooting
Anormal flame is blue and may have an orange or yellow tip. If the flame is completely yellow, it may be that the jet is not securely fitted. Re-tighten the jet
to ensure there is no gas leakage.An overfilled gas cylinder can also cause large yellow flames. If this is the case the cylinder should be returned to the
filling station and checked by weight.
Check that the primary air supply apertures (holes) in the Burners are clear and free of obstructions.
If the flame power drops or the gas will not light, check that the gas cylinder still contains gas (shake to hear the noise made by a liquid). If there is still gas,
the jet might have become blocked or partially blocked.
If you suspect a blocked jet, follow the instructions above.
4. FittingAnd Changing The Gas Cylinder Cont....
If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), extinguish all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the appliance. If you wish to check for leaks on your
appliance, use soapy water which is applied to the suspected area.Aformation of bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Check that all the connections are
securely fitted and re-check with soapy water. If you cannot rectify the gas leak, do not use the appliance. Contact your local CADAC stockist for assistance.
When changing a gas cylinder, first close the cylinder valve and then the appliance valve, making sure the flame is extinguished and unscrew the regulator.
Re-fit the regulator to a full cylinder following the same precautions as described above.
After the appliance has been fully assembled, perform a gas leak test before operating the appliance.
5. Cooking On TheAppliance
The vitreous enamel grids and grills heat up evenly, searing meats and locking in their natural juices and flavours.
When using the grill for the first time, lightly coat the cooking side of the grids /grills with oil before heating. This can be repeated after every wash.
Preheat the grills before cooking. Lightly coat your food with oil to help prevent sticking to the grill.
For best results, keep the lid closed while cooking, and only use 2 burners on HIGH. The heat inside the lid should not exceed 250°C.
